3. I know that saying the Bible is not literal does not make the Christian God exist, but it does further my personal understanding of Christianity and God. For you to claim that Christianity is false is to show a lack of understanding of Christianity already. You do not understand the message of Christianity.
4. Then you show your unwillingness to learn, for everyone has something to teach, even if they are wrong.
I do not wish to learn from those who are wrong. Is this a crime?
Also I understand now that all your beliefs in God come from personal experiences. To be honest with you, I thought I had personal experiences before as well. But I realized I only felt like I did. I had absolutely no proof for myself to justify that my experiences were genuine. It was all in my mind. Your God is like Santa Clause. Kids think he's there because they "know it" but we can all agree he's (Santa Clause) not there.
